Billy Strings is the most electrifying performer in bluegrass today. This kid can play anything. Somehow, he made the guitar and acceptable bluegrass instrument in lead role. He can play tradition bluegrass as well as anyone alive and still have the ability to go progressive. And he is just 32 and has been at this for years.

5/5

"Through the turmoil and the tinfoil
I could wait my early life
I can see you in the darkness
And I'm running through the night

I recall a silver morning
When your face had turned to gray
You were standing right before me
But I missed you every day"

Here's one from Hylo Brown called "Lost to a Stranger" which was really his best-known song. He is pretty well forgotten today.

4/5

"We went out one evening my darling and I
She seemed so different and I wondered why
We stopped at a tavern and there I could see
That she loved another one better than me

While they are dancing and I sat alone
I knew I had lost her the one I loved
Lost to a stranger I never had seen
The waltz they were playing had ended my dream"
